Chris Samba's agent confirmed that, in line with most QPR players, there is no clause for a reduction in salary on relegation.
There be a train a-coming...

Sheer lunacy. Although TBH, I have a feeling they might just scrape a way out of the relegation places and so 'get away with it' to a certain extent (obviously they'll still have a load of overpaid players and probably be losing money for the next few years at least).

Hey, newsflash jackass, i'm not from Warrington either

...which are not the same club as the original R&D and never could be. FWIW I still have more than a little regard for AFC Diamonds (they stand a sight more chance of promotion this season than we do

) and if there'd been continuity between the death of the old club and the birth of the new then I'd no doubt happily be standing on the terraces of the Dog & Duck every week now instead of enjoying my glorious padded seat and ample legroom at Stadium:MK instead. But in the year's gap between the 2 I got sucked in by the allure of the Mighty Dons instead. At the end of the day, you don't choose your club - it chooses you. Maybe that even applies to some Sky-Subscription-Aon-Shirt scumbags, who knows?

Interesting, you bring up the AON shirts, but not the Samsung, Standard Chartered, Etihad or Fly Emirates shirts...?

It doesn't though, does it? What happened at R&D was a shambles. Enough of us have been through similar experiences to know what it's like, many also experiencing being part of the effort to start anew. You chose not to be part of that, choosing instead to go support something else.

I'm not right fussy who people choose to support - their decision, doesn't affect me - but I reserve the right to mock my colleague from the same town as me who chooses to support a club from elsewhere. But there's something about lambasting people for supporting a team that doesn't fit a narrow definition of what's right that doesn't sit right when the lambaster has switched allegiance so. Adding in the fact of who the allegiance was switched to and you have a toxic blend.

Wait just a minute.... He's not from MK?? HAHAHA

I don't deny that we could do with a quality addition in midfield (to get Phil Nevile out of there)and, ideally, another striker, but I don't think we should be pushed into panic buying for the sake of it.

Seriously, who would you suggest we could have brought in who could have really IMPROVED our team, and not simply been a number (in a James McFadden type of way)??

The truth is, the January window is an absolute rip-off and should be avoided if possible - The only players available are other side's cast-offs (those that QPR have signed) and vastly overpriced players (those that QPR have signed).

Yes, realistically, we will find it tough to keep our European challenge going, but, at the same time, I don't think those challenging around us have significantly strengthened to the point where you fear one side will suddenly start to go on some 6 or 7 match winning streak which will clinch them 4th spot.

Moussa Sissoko would have improved most sides in the Premier League. In fairness to Everton, we wouldn't have been having this discussion if Fer didn't have a dodgy knee. He'd have signed and with the young boy Stones we'd probably be commenting on another fine window and a push towards the top 4 if Jelavic found himself again.

I don't think a panic signing would have been a good idea either, but the loan market is surely a relatively low risk approach? There were some decent players being offered around on loan and whilst they probably wouldn't have improved the strongest 11, they would have enabled the likes of Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini and Neville to be kept in decent condition.

They all suck. But Man. Utd. are the ultimate symbol of everything that is screwed up, evil and twisted in topflight football these days (Chelski and Citeh do their best but can't quite hack it with the true home of Franchise Football Limited) and so are the obvious figurehead for the numpty brigade. Please feel free to mentally substitute the sponsor of your choice for 'Aon' when reading my magnificently crafted posts if it makes you feel any better.

Well, we all deal with grief in different ways, don't we? I still get a massive lump in the throat every time I drive past Nene Park (luckily I don't have to do it often) and always will, at least until it gets bulldozed in 2015 when the rumoured ordnance forcing it's use as a football venue runs out anyway. I went to half a dozen AFC Diamonds U16 games (all they had for the first year) when they first started up and frankly I found it heartbreaking each time to be reminded of what my club had been and what they were now reduced to. And they just didn't feel like "my" club anyway. I tried, lord how I tried, but it simply [ijust wasn't the same[/i. And MK sucked me in instead after a few casual visits and that was that.

Anyway - vital 6 pointer against Bournemouth tomorrow. Onwards and upwards
